Kinda like my beloved 1/1 Salacious B. Crumb. They had a few problems with them. But wow!!!
I had to sell mine, then they went through the roof and now I will likely never get him back. Really sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!

edit-research if other online stores have payment plans besides SC
last night I thought baby yoda was only going to be sold exclusively at Sideshow and was limited
but now other online stores are taking preorders
For you guys whom haven't ordered or are on the fence, I would look into other retailers besides Sideshow
cause you may save on shipping, example BBTS and maybe pay no sales taxes.
two weeks ago I ordered the EFx Boba Fett helmet from SecretCompassonline
and only paid $369.99, free shipping and paid no sales tax. SCO is based in Colorado and I live California, for sale tax reference
Ordering baby Yoda from Sideshow, I have to pay about $30 in sales tax and they don't have a shipping quote yet, but I'm guessing could be more than $30. Cause when I ordered, 1/6 scale Guardians of the Galaxy Stan Lee by Hot Toys, from Sideshow I paid around $25 shipping.
so, hope this helps some of guys, save some Mando bucks

I don't know. I been very fortunate to have the cash so, I never looked into payment plans at Sideshow or other stores
All I can say is do research if other online stores have payment plans besides SideshowCollectables

I've never been into owning character replicas, but I'm all in for this little guy. I'd have coughed up the whole amount without a second thought if it'd been necessary, but the payment plan was definitely attractive (and changed my fiancee's interest level from "Hmmm..." to "So are we getting one?!) LOL 
Yeah, when I saw it was only $350 I was shocked. I preordered it as well. I also talked several friends into it, haha.
Well, being the maker behind that run, it's 2 very different things. The Sideshow statue - which I also ordered because it looks great, and of course, its using the original assets - is resin and plastic, and not articulated. It's a great piece to be sure, but the one we're making is jointed, made in platinum silicon, and handcrafted, not manufactured in a factory in China. Don't be so quick to judge us small-time makers, man.
First time my wife ever encouraged me to buy something hobby related... This one is a no-brainer at that price!

Secret Compass is a good option. No tax and free shipping. I ended up creating a new Sideshow account to save the $15 on signup.

Haha, quick guys we must post something! Anything!..
By the time the HT preorder is up and then released 1-2 years later he might have grown up or got some real swag clothing in seasons 2,3...etc

Yeah..this feels knee jerk. Hot Toys doesn't even always produce what they preview at cons. That 66 batmobile disappeared like a fart in the wind.

Exactly, alot of figs never end up being produced for a number of reasons even with prototypes being shown. I think all they will actually deliver within the next 18months is a 1/6 yoda packaged with that beskar mando
And their 1/6 BvS Batmobile was cancelled. I was going to pre order that day one.

It may be a knee jerk reaction. However, if hot toys has a license to produce a 1:1 baby Yoda, I don’t see why they wouldn’t mass market it. It’s guaranteed to sell, and honestly their sculpts and paint jobs are better than sideshow’s. Also got toys us generally done a good job on figures with rooted hair or fur, like Chewbacca. The other stuff that they didn’t follow through on probably weren’t attracting sufficient interest to mass market.

I wouldn't say their sculpts and paint jobs are better, especially as of late (I'm looking at you End Game Hulk, TROS Rey and Kylo). Not to say SS is always a home run, but neither is HT. I'm a massive fan of both companies, but I truly don't see HT making a "better" one, especially given SS partnered with Legacy on this. I mean it'll probably have some articulation, but I'd rather have the accuracy and linage of the SS Child.
Yeah, I think I'm in the same boat. Worst case I have one for my home and work office. Also have the HT 1:1 Gauntlet, it's incredibly impressive and easily my favorite piece.
